Anecdotes

Last MGM cartoon to receive a reissue.

This is marked as the first Tom and Jerry cartoon on HBO Max, despite premiering 14 years after the actual first one.

Abandoned foundlings with nefarious intent were a popular plot element in cartoons as well as films.

The very latest home furnishings are on display here, including a modern postwar kitchen, complete with tiled backsplash, icebox, and a breadbox. Even the carefully drawn Dutch door was accurately rendered, a hallmark of this era in animation, as cartoons were still shown in cinemas for the most part.
